Watching Movie by DR
I caught 58 movies in the cinemas in 2008. This comes off to an average figure of one movie watched in cinemas every 6.3 days. If I paid an approximate figure of 16 dollars for two tickets (plus minus weekday and weekend) each time, I spent 928 dollars on the cinemas last year alone. I am also a heavy eater of sweet 
popcorn and I habitually throw the popcorn kernels under the cinema seats when I think no one is looking. Already, I have contributed to the flourishing cinema employment for ticketing, food and beverage, and cleaning services.
When it comes to supporting original movies, I guess I am right up there. However I have excluded movies that I have watched at home or on my laptop which could come to an impressive average of one movie every two days. If I include the educational (pornographic) content as well, I’m guessing the average will be two movies every day. I watch a lot of shit.
I’m not critical when it comes to movies. A good comedy just needs to make me laugh instead of rolling my eyes. Romantic movies should give me the chills and goosebumps. Action thrillers make me lose bladder control in the cinema seat. Anything animated makes me sleep. Horror should shrink my balls. And a local movie should bring tears to my eyes.
Unfortunately, the closest thing that brought tears to my eyes was a combination of a few local productions on television. Forget about identity and original content. Just copy proven mindless hits like Desperate Housewives or OC from America 
like we have always done so. Why not just cast Wong Li Lin, Diana Ser and Lisa Ang in a series and call it “Hey Singapore, Triple 9 Housewives Get Real”. These three were probably my favourite local infotainment, drama series and documentary. Perhaps cast Fiona Xie, Felicia Chin, and Michelle Chia in “SOC’ where they tackle one station of the SOC each episode every week in swimwear.
If I were to direct my own educational content, I would suggest for the cast to use Little bottles of Nonya kaya as a lubricant.
